BAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

so i forgot in my last blog (from all the excitement from my party) to mention that i got my acceptance letter from the University of Alabama! YAY! I’m so tinkled pink about it! I have it on my mini-frig in my room lol. I have been telling everyone. I even called my family in Atlanta to tell them the good news. They are so happy too. Now it’s just getting through this semester and then I’m off lol! I can’t wait to get down there! It’s going to be such a change….you can look at that in a good and a bad way i suppose. i’m not happy about leaving northeast by no means, but BAMA…come on! sometimes i just can’t wait to get all of my schooling out of the way and start my career. I’m not trying to rush through the years, but all this stress I go through doesn’t seem worth it, even though I know it is. this up coming month i think is going to kill me! i have so many things due april 1 it’s not even funny. sometimes i wonder how i get through the day. i mean i have 2 calendars in my room. one for school and one for work and other activities. then i have a planner in my purse that combines them both together. AH! so much to do…so little time. CRAZY huh?! I know so many people know what i’m going through, but there are also so many that don’t. i’m not trying to make myself sound more responsible or better, but there are times when i just cry because that seems to be the only way i can let stuff out. thank goodness spring break is coming up soon! not like i’m going to get a break, but at least i’m going to get to sleep in. that’s always a perk! any who….i hate to cut this short, but all that typing about work made me realize how much i have to do lol!

catch me next week!

xoxoxo

omg! a surprise party…for me?!

My birthday was yesterday and I have to say that it was the greatest one I have ever had! Here I thought that I was just going to have to weekend off and have a fwe presents…but no (in a good way). My boyfriend Zack through me the most wonderful surprise birthday party I could have ever dreamed of! Ok….see, I went to school….smiling just having a grand old time, had a SGA meeting that afternoon, then I went to work trying to stay in the same mood I had went to school in. Well Zack had told me earlier that day and all through the week that his momma had something planned for me and wanted to me come down after work. I didn’t think much about it, I just figured she was going to give me my present. Well while I’m getting off work, Zack is just a texting away. Where are you? Have you got off work yet? All sorts of things…I was starting to get frustrated because my day at work wasn’t going so hot. Well I set off to his house. I get there and he meets me outside. But I noticed that he wasn’t wearing what he did to school. He had one a navy blue polo..hmmm, again I didn’t think much about it, I just figured his mom told him to put something nice on lol. Well we’re heading in the house and all the lights are turned out. He told me that his mom waited up, but she was a little tired. He was trying to make me feel guilty for arriving at his house so late, and boy was he doing a good job. In the house you could see the streamers. He said him and his mom wanted to decorate for me (adding more guilt on me lol). As I walk around the corner in the kitchen…the lights come one and all I see are so many familiar faces and the word SURPRISE come out of all their mouths! Oh I was so happy! Beyond happy if a place even exists. I started crying to top it all off because I was so happy. He even got me a turtle cake because that time him and I went to the aqaurium he saw hoe much I loved turtles. I wish all of you could have been there. I have always wanted a surprise party, and now I will always have this memory! A pretty good bit of my friends from Northeast was there. Even some that used to go there but have moved on to universities. My best friend Casey was even in on this surprise along with my sis Shanna. Everyone knew, which is the way it’s supposed to go,but me. Oh it was the best! And you want to know what made it even greater…the present Zack got me! The party would have been more than enough, but the gift from him was priceless. He got me a ring….and not just any ring, but a PRE-ENGAGED RING! Oh it’s so beautiful! I love it! Again I could have cried when I got it. I just had to show everyone. It’s so big…with diamonds all around it….square cut…and a very light green stone because he knew green was my favorite color. That was the greatest night and I have him and all my friends to thank for it!

Catch me next week!

…if it’s not one thing…it’s another

Stress has decided to become my best friend…it never leaves my side. I can’t seem to go a day without worrying over something. It’s like I can’t even enjoy a day off because I have something that needs to be done, or homework to catch up on….it never fails. I hate that every time y’all see my blog I seem so down and depressed, but if you knew me in person…this isn’t me. I’ve just about reached my limit I guess. Now don’t get me wrong; I am a happy-go-lucky person who loves to have fun and goof, but there is a huge part of me that tends to stress and worry and AHH! I just want a break! I know that we’re out of school Monday, but of course, I have to work, but besides that, I am already planning all the things I need to do. It’s an on-going cycle. Oh well I guess…welcome to adulthood some may say. 

On another note…Valentine’s Day is coming up! I’m pretty excited. This will be my first one in a long time…like 3 years. I know Zack has something up his sleeve. Bless his heart, he tries to be sneaky about things, but like he can keep anything from me. I love his effort though. Oh! Did I tell y’all that we went to the aquarium?! Oh yes…we did! We went with some friends of ours from school. There was this flyer in the student center that said if you could show your student i.d., you get in at a discount. They wasn’t kdding! We even saw the i-max because it was such a good deal. I felt like a little kid because I was so fascinated! I loved it. I think we are going back since this thing is going on all month. Even my sister and her boyfriend went. There’s just something about the aquarium that gets us I suppose.  

GUESS WHAT?! My birthday is this month too. Yes I know some of you may remember from my last year’s blog, but for all you new readers…my birthday is the 20th. I’m pretty excited (if you can believe it through all this stress), but I am. I’ll be out of my teenage years…tear tear tear lol. I don’t have anything planned yet. Actually I think I am going to have to work….BUMMER! But oh well….just another day.

I’ll be sure to let y’all know how everything goes. I have some homework to attend to. Catch me next time! xoxoxo

:) just can’t quit smiling :)

So Zack and I went 4-wheeler riding this weekend…talk about some major fun! I love 4-wheeler riding, and we’re going again this weekend too. I’m so excited! Bless his heart too…HE LET ME DRIVE! I’m not saying that I’m a bad driver, but I tend to like to go super fast…not the wisest idea, but it sure is a thrill. Some friends from up here are going this time with us…ok, ok it’s actually my best friend Casey and my friend Josh who is actually her boyfriend. Yeah, ask them how they got together lol. Yep…me and Zack, but that’s another story. Any who, Casey and I work together and she has been going up here for like the last 3 semesters and Josh has been up here….I don’t know how long lol but I’ll guess a semester or 2. Any who I love the both of them and I am so happy they are together…we go on double-dates ALL the time. It’s great because we all know each other, so no one feels left out or anything and we just have a great time.

Zack and I are doing great by-the-way! It will be 3 months on Sunday (officially) or the 19 we will be together 4 months (unofficially). Take your pick on how you want to calculate it…and yes, I know, I keep track of things like that, but like I can help it! I’m telling y’all, it’s because of him that I can’t quit smiling. He makes me the happiest girl in the world! It’s crazy how things work out…especially here at NACC. We should have been together a long time ago, but all that matters is we’re together now. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a dream, because a guy like him doesn’t come my way very often…if any. I’m just so thankful to have him…..

Oh, and just to let you know….my birthday is coming up! I know that I’m getting older, but I still get excited! I’ m a little girl when it comes to the little things in life. 

And SGA has already started planning for the Spring Fling. I’m getting pumped about that too! But guess who got put in charge of the dance….ME! Yes, I’m not mad about it or anything, but man it’s going to be a lot of work because we didn’t have a Fall Fling dance. Thank goodness I have a committee helping me or I don’t know what I would do! I’ll keep you updated on the plans!  

Between all my stressful days, I can still say I’m the happiest girl in the world!

Catch me next time~
